Summary

It would be useful to be able to visually distinguish user messages from assistant responses in the Claude Code conversation display via a configurable colour setting.

Current behaviour

User input and assistant responses are distinguished by layout (the > prompt marker) but both render in the same colour. There is no setting in settings.json or /config to change the colour of user messages specifically.

Desired behaviour

A setting (e.g. in settings.json or via /config) that allows users to assign a specific ANSI colour to their typed messages in the conversation view — separate from the assistant response colour and the overall theme.

Use case

When scrolling back through a long conversation, it is difficult to quickly scan for where your own inputs are. A distinct colour for user messages would make navigation and review significantly easier.

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI (terminal)
  • Terminal: Konsole on KDE Plasma / Wayland
  • OS: CachyOS (Arch-based Linux)
